The Illusionist

Did any of you see the movie?
If so, surely the locket in there would have gotten your attention.

Any ideas how one like that 'wood' be made?

You can't build a usable one exactly as shown in the movie. They used
two different props: one that rotates and one that slides open.

On a more positive note, you should be able to create something
similar:
instead of having the heart slide open in one piece, use two hinges so
that both halves of the heart slide open separately. You can then put
another hinge in to join the two pieces. Of course when you put a
photo in there it will be all torn up ;-)

Here's a clip of that locket :

Who would have thought?

Well here are some sketches for an all-wood construction :

I am a bit confused. Why do you say it would be
impossible to make ?

I'd skip all that fancy stuff, and just use small supermagnets to hold the pieces together.

Don't worry about it -- you can't, even if you try. News servers strip
attachments from posts in non-binary groups.
